Updates

I've been trying and trying to get my act together, and you know, this is a lot of writing for one book.

Said stack does not include the other three printed versions of the novel (which are with my mom's friend, my art teacher, and the cover art designer currently) but it does include the second edition of the work in book form, two spiral notebooks filled with stuff, and the entire manuscript printed out.  That binder has hinges.  Hinges.  I did not know that they made binders with hinges.  Also included in the picture is a lovely view of my carpet.

My summer project is to really get the ball rolling with Susie to find a home for this novel in the publishing world.  After that's on its way to being settled, I'll be pounding out the next book.

My Book Has Arrived

TA-DA

There it is, my book.  I printed and ordered five copies from CreateSpace and they arrived in a very big box.  My friend took pictures of me as I opened the package and honestly, I look like a child on Christmas morning.  One book stays home with me, one went to the crazy artist friend, one goes to my eighth grade English teacher, and then two copies I donated to my school library, autographed and all.

Very exciting.

I'll also be talking at my school's Love Your Library Week next Monday.  I'm really nervous, but hopefully it will be very fun.

I'm now working on Xavier's book as much as I can, but he is still being a brat.  I also filled up my novel scrapbook, which was no small feat.  I feel kind of empty without it, but I started another one, so that might make up for its absence.

Notebooks

I literally just noticed Miss Juliet Horror's comment on my post.  Honestly.  No one ever comments so it caught me off guard.

In case you are periodically checking back, Juliet Horror, here is a post about notebooks.

I have about fifty of the things; lined up according to height on two shelves in my bedroom.  Most of them are empty.  Some of them are full.  The rest have about three sentences to a page in them and are then abandoned.  I adore notebooks so much that I have trouble writing in them; this is because my friends give me tons of notebooks for my birthday, notebooks that are simply too gorgeous to write in.

However, I have just acquainted myself with the novel idea of a scrapbook for my stories.

I have a large spiral notebook that I decoupaged myself with things that I found laying around my house.  It is this notebook that holds pictures, ideas, newspaper clippings, and story snippets.  I find that it is the best supplement to my writing and would highly recommend it to anyone out there who is having trouble either keeping track of things like which color a character's eyes are or needs a good place to write down ideas that don't necessarily present themselves in chronological order.

Gasp!

It's Banner Thursday!

Not that anyone cares.

I've just been so busy with my James Bond dance, which is finally choreographed.  (Although I had to kick someone out.)

I've also been busy with the play. (Autitions Monday and my monologue isn't memorized.)

And my copious amounts of homework.  (But I'm not complaining.)

But here you are, m'dears:

This is something from a little series that I wanted to write, it even had its own notebook and everything.  I liked it very much and if I have time, I'll start it up again.
